Free Gifts for Attendees

When you register for the Microdosing & Psychedelic Retreats Summit, you’ll unlock a bundle designed to support real-world growth long after the summit ends. You’ll receive three thoughtful eBooks that turn big ideas into practical steps you can apply right away.

To help you translate insights into daily life, you’ll also get access to a Psychedelic Integration Series. It’s crafted to reinforce preparation, integration, and steady progress with grounded practices you can return to again and again.

And as a special bonus, you’ll receive immediate access to four expert video interviews (listed below) to deepen your understanding from multiple perspectives.

eBook: Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness — A Direct Path to Awakening (Fleet Maull, PhD)

This concise guide introduces a deeply embodied, neuroscience-informed approach to mindfulness that helps stabilize attention and open awareness. It explains how interoception and exteroception create an internal neuro-biofeedback loop that naturally supports regulation and presence.

• Shift from the “default-mode network” toward task-positive focus for calmer, clearer attention
• Use body-based awareness to move from conceptual thinking into direct experience
• Work skillfully with breath, sensation, and the “body-body” to anchor in the present
• Develop interoceptive sensitivity for organic self-regulation and integration

eBook: New Approaches to Healing & Transformation — Positive Neuroplasticity, Expanded States & Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (Fleet Maull, PhD)

Explore how positive neuroplasticity, expanded states of consciousness, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy intersect to support healing and growth. Learn why states can become traits through practice—and how to override negativity bias with practical tools.

• Positive neuroplasticity: turning brief states into lasting traits
• Evidence-informed pathways for trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction
• Ethical, responsible approaches to psychedelic-assisted care
• Practical methods: gratitude, contemplative practice, visualization, and breathwork

eBook: Conscious Evolution — The Transformative Power of Expanded States (Fleet Maull, PhD)

Understand the difference between flow states and expanded states—and why set & setting, skilled guidance, and integration matter. This guide maps safe access points (meditation, breathwork, music, traditional practices) and highlights benefits, cautions, and next steps.

• Flow vs. expanded awareness, with a plain-language tour of brainwave patterns
• Access methods: meditation, breathwork, movement, music, and carefully held ceremonies
• Preparation, set & setting, and post-experience integration essentials
• Grounded wisdom: humility, “no big deal” mindset, and everyday application

Bonus Video Interviews

Round out your learning with four concise conversations from respected voices in the field. These bonus interviews offer perspectives you can weave into preparation, practice, and integration:

• Gabor Maté, MD
• Belinda Eriacho
• Rick Doblin
